Western & Southern Open

A Proud Tradition In Cincinnati
The Cincinnati tournament has come a long way from its humble roots, first played at the Avondale Athletic Club more than a century ago, to the grand-scale ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center today. Nine of the past 10 Western & Southern Open champions held the No. 1 ranking during their careers. The Western & Southern Open is part of the Emirates Airline US Open Series. In 2014, the event set an attendance record by drawing 191,752 fans over 16 sessions. It beat the previous mark of 187,183 fans in 2013.
